Clinical Trial Summary

Many people with MS report sleep disturbances. However, objective data on sleep quality in MS, such as those obtained using actigraphy, remain scant, as do data about optimal therapeutic management. Melatonin is frequently used to improve sleep parameters, both in healthy and neurological populations. Altered melatonin regulation and signaling has been implicated in MS, through observations including (1) MS risk associated with shift work, (2) contribution of melatonin to seasonal risk of MS relapses, and (3) possible reduction of endogenous melatonin levels from exogenous corticosteroid administration. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have evaluated melatonin vs. placebo as a low-cost, low-risk agent to treat sleep disturbance in MS. To test this, we are conducting a randomized controlled pilot trial.
